Sandy Supposes....

I could've been Gabby

Prompt :Talk Tuesday! What do you do to make yourself happy, while knowing It Irritates others?

          Not that I intentionally irk others, well if I'm being honest, okay, sometimes I do tease people, but I digress. Huh there it is, one of the 'things' I do that for some fathomless reason annoys people; a digression . Some know it as a tangent , or a complete three-sixty. Apparently , I change the topic, or insert strange, random musings . It seems I have a compulsion, who knew? Oh, right, everybody noticed this except me. Hmm, I also ramble .

          My intention was to mention that I like, no, really love to chat . Spontaneous speaking is my raison d'etre. My travelling companions have learned that I will converse with anyone any where. Often, they wait for me while I indulge my pleasure in the 'gas'. This is British slang for incessant chatter. I like this imagery; the gas, the fuel, revs my encounters. It sounds far better than 'spilling at the mouth'.Sometimes, I have overheard disparaging drivel about my squawking....as if. I'm not a mindless bird, oops, sorry birds. Here's another digression. In Britain, to chat up is known as 'chirps'. They do have a way with a word! Chatty Cathy, I'll admit to this, but 'chopsy'? This either describes me as pork-chop-like, or rough -like-a-wave, or having-too-many-teeth. Now I know it means I talk too much; my mouth runneth over. If my patient parents had waited to observe my quirks before they named me, I could've been Gabby.
